Workers’ welfare / Cost of living (social & practical angle)

The Federal Government has approved a ₦70,000 monthly transport support for public service workers at all levels for six months, starting November 2026. This came out of a conciliation meeting with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to ease rising living costs.
They also approved payment of peculiar allowance arrears (from May 2026) in three equal instalments starting in November. Minimum wage talks will continue via a new negotiation committee, but the parties haven’t agreed on the start date yet. 

What do you think about the ₦70k transport support?
